Percolate and Falcon have many similarities and provide many of the same features, however Percolate felt a bit more robust than Falcon, although it does come with a higher price tag to match. Both platforms are excellent for content approval workflows, content scheduling, and …

Social publishing tools are very good, better than competitors. Percolate is constantly adding new features and functionality and can manage the workload and storage that Domo can’t.

Everything is better than Percolate. It is better than the free version of HootSuite.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Percolate provided a more robust portfolio of offerings in the social space. We felt that although Percolate was not the cheapest, that it provides the most value to our social strategy and has been instrumental in getting us to the place we are now.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Percolate has much more functionality than Social Studio. Social Studio is really only meant to be used as a social publishing platform. Percolate does social publishing much better, has a great file management system, has a calendar for more than just social, and has the …

The free version of Hootsuite does not support the approval process so that did not work for our organization. Percolate was much more user friendly than Spredfast, has a more streamlined calendar view, and has more reporting features for data analysis. The approval workflow …

Three major areas separate Percolate from the competition in my POV:
  • They view themselves as truly, an all-in-one SaaS model. Other large, enterprise platforms, like Sprinklr, have the old a la carte approach to their platforms. Everything is extra. Every new addition or …

I have used tools like HootSuite and trello to manage social media and different tasks and activities respectively. Trello is a great tool to keep track of your projects and campaigns. Unfortunately, Percolate is not that sophisticated. Percolate is slow compared to trello and …
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Percolate is more robust and user-friendly than other tools we've used. The collaborative feature in particular was very attractive, and made it stand out for us against products like Sprout Social. The photo editing tool is also very useful and superior to tools that are …
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
The main features that attracted us to Percolate were the editorial calendar and the multimedia database. Additionally, the ability to take content beyond the usual social channels and interface with Wordpress AND bring in (paid) third party content made the purchase choice …

In my experience, I feel that you should avoid this website as a "plague" if you're a reseller or agency.

Very useful for the management, planning, and programming of all social networks, as well as marketing campaigns. One of the best tools to make life easier for community managers and automate daily tasks such as content publishing. It is my favorite for managing my clients' networks.

Pros
  • Charge to use their website while free version is extremely limited.
  • Inactive publishers that go unanswered for over a month.
  • Major delay in customer support as it takes a week to hear anything.
Read full review
  • You can schedule all the planning done for each social network, with the date and time you want to publish, without any inconvenience.
  • It has many templates of campaigns and content for social networks, which facilitates the work and the workload of designers and community managers.
  • The management of the marketing campaign is very efficient, as it monitors the progress, performance, and progress of the campaign also presents a complete statistical report that helps to improve the plans and strategies used.

Cons
  • I believe they should not charge to use the platform without limitations to the search feature.
  • Remove any placements that are inactive.
  • I feel there could be better customer support.

  • Data is a mess. So unreliable. Takes so much time to create a concrete report.
  • There is no ability to export anything. No calendar PDFs, no data Excel sheets, nothing.
  • No paid management functionality.
  • Hated their listening tool abilities relative to other tools I've used.

As we have grown to implement Percolate with more and more people within our company, we have also run into more features we'd like to see in the app. The Percolate team has been extremely understanding about these requests, and even visited our offices to sit and listen to exactly what we are looking for. Assuming these new features make it into production with them, we'll definitely stay with Percolate for the long term

Rarely has a company shown this much support during implementation. This almost got to the point where it was too much hand holding. Sometimes, social teams just want the keys to the car so they can drive it themselves instead of waiting on someone to drive along with them...

Three major areas separate Percolate from the competition in my POV:
  • They view themselves as truly, an all-in-one SaaS model. Other large, enterprise platforms, like Sprinklr, have the old a la carte approach to their platforms. Everything is extra. Every new addition or component comes at a cost and does not automatically update your license. Percolate has a different approach. If it is an update and it is good for the platform, you should get it. Therefore, they update the tool OFTEN and always evolving the functionality.
  • Which leads to my next point, Percolate wants to build the best-in-class social content management tool, period. Therefore, they are not chasing ways to upcharge you with new functions and modules. They focus on their core product and make it better and better.
  • Lastly, the pricing is simple and easy to understand. The cost is the cost.. no hidden details. Good luck getting that transparency with platforms like Sprinklr or Radian6.

Return on Investment
  • Lost clients due to delays and poor support.
Read full review
  • Percolate has made it much easier to communicate between teams and has provided a return on investment in that area in particular.
  • Percolate also helps save time because you are able to schedule social media posts across channels easily.
  • It has also been an easy way to work with remote team members, which is very helpful.
